A Shakespearean Conversation 



A MOSAIC 



arranged by 



EDITH MICKLEBOROUGH SAMMIS 



I have here only made a nosegay of culled flowers, and have brought 
nothing of my own but the thread that ties them together.

Two women of the present day discussing current topics in 
Shakespearean phrases: this is the theme of the following 
mosaic which was put together six years ago and issued now in a 
revised form to bring it up to date. 

What are known as current topics, — the servant problem, 
domestic infelicities, the follies of fashion, the cost of living, 
universal peace, class prejudices, — hark back to the beginnings 
of recorded time, and Shakespeare bears witness that the men 
and women of his day grappled with these same problems and 
groped for their solution. But it takes the genius of a Shake- 
speare to crystallize the thought and opinion of his generation 
into phrases which glow and sparkle in the light of this twentieth 
century. It is his treatment of these world-old themes as 
brought out in the mosaic that are particularly worthy of note. 

As to the other talk about yellow journalism, literature good 
and bad, some present-day amusements and inventions, and the 
little pleasantries and quips and chitchat thrown in to make the 
conversation run smoothly — it took only a little ingenuity in the 
arrangement of quotations to evolve all that, and the same 
ingenuity painted the portraits of three of our national char- 
acters who appear under the name of "Caesar." 

What was, is or would have been, Shakespeare's attitude to- 
ward the women movement? Shakespeare, the tamer of a 
shrew, whose vocabulary is innocent of the words, ballot, femin- 
ist, militant, vote? And yet, on which side of the fence might 
one expect to find the creator of Rosalind, Viola, Portia, Her- 
mione, Emilia and Imogen? 



Finally, if the mosaic has any merit at all, it is as it illustrates 
and confirms the opinions of two eminent gentlemen: Solomon, 
who, two thousand years ago, said, "There is no new thing under 
the sun, "and Ben Jonson, who three hundred years ago declared 
that Shakespeare was not of an age but for all time.

Dramatis Personae. 
Mrs. B. — The Hostess, quick-witted, impulsive. 
Mrs. A. — Her Guest, conservative, sympathetic. 
Scene: — Mrs. B's Library. 
Time : — The Present. 

Mrs. B. A hundred thousand welcomes; I could weep 

And I could laugh; — welcome! 1. 
Mrs. A. These joyful tears show thy true heart. 2. 
Mrs. B. How is't with you? 3. 
Mrs. A. Though I look old, yet am I strong and lusty. 4. 

I have a good eye; I can see a church by daylight. 5. 
Mrs. B. Zounds! how have we the leisure to be sick 

In such a justling time? 6. 
Mrs. A. I'll make a lip at the physician. 7. 

Throw physic to the dogs, I'll none of it. 8. 

Mrs. B. How now? Which of your hips has the most profound 
sciatica? 9. 

Mrs. A. O, it is much that a jest will do with a fellow that 
never had the ache in his shoulders. 10. 

Mrs. B. A word in your ear. 11. 

You and I are past our dancing days. 12. 

Mrs. A. Nay then, no matter. 13. We have some salt of our 
youth in us. 14. 
Frame your mind to mirth and merriment, 
Which bars a thousand harms and lengthens life. 15. 

Mrs. B. Excellent! 16. but come in, 17. and rest. is. 

I have been in such a pickle since I saw you last, that 

1 fear me will never out of my bones. 19. 

Mrs. A. Why, what's the matter, 20. that you have such a 
February face so full of frost, of storm and cloudi- 
ness? 21. 



Mrs. B. * (These) wildcats in our kitchens; saints in their 
injuries; devils being offended! 22. 
And I wash, wring, brew, bake, scour, dress meat 
and drink, and make the beds and do all myself, 
23. pantler, butler, cook. 24. 
The patch is a huge feeder. 25. She hath eaten me 
out of house and home. 26. 
Snail slow! 27. I was more than half-stewed in 
grease; 28. (and) she, the kitchen- wench, 29. dis- 
missed me thus, with her speechless hand. 30. 
I never had worse luck in my life. 31. 

Mrs. A. Of comfort no man speak: let's talk of graves and 
worms and epitaphs. 32. 

Things at the worst will cease or else climb upward 
to what they were before. 33. 

I am nothing if not critical; 34. *(but mine is) honest, 
< willing, kind as ever servant shall come in house 
withal; and, I warrant you, no tell-tale; her worst 
fault is that she is given to prayer; she is some- 
thing peevish that way; but nobody but has his 
fault. 35. 

She can wash and scour, a special virtue. 36. 

She is apt to learn and thankful for good turns. 37. 

Mrs. B. Thy turn is next. 38. 

Mrs. A. This wide and universal theatre 

Presents more awful pageants than the scene 

Wherein we play. 39. 

Should all despair, 40, being troubled with a shrew, 41. 

the tenth of mankind would hang themselves. 42. 
Maids are May when they are maids, but the sky 

changes when they are wives. 43. 

Mrs. B. I do think it is their husbands' faults. 44. 

Men are April when they woo, December when they 
wed. 45. 



Would it not grieve a woman to be overmastered by a 
piece of valiant dust? to make an account of her 
life to a clod of wayward marie? 46. 
Let husbands know 

Their wives have sense like them; they see and smell 
And have their palates both for sweet and sour 
As husbands have. 47. I see a woman may be made a 
fool, if she had not the spirit to resist. 48. 

Mrs. A. A fine volley of words and quickly shot off! 49. 

Stay her tongue! Hang all the husbands that cannot 
do that feat, you'll leave yourself hardly one sub- 
ject. 50, Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy 
keeper. 51. 
I am ashamed that women are so simple. 
To offer war when they should sue for peace 
Or seek for rule, supremacy and sway 
When they are bound to serve, love and obey. 52. 

Mrs. B. Women being the weaker vessels are ever thrust to 
the wall. 53. 

Mrs. A. Tut, that's a foolish observation. 54. 

The report goes that she has all the rule of her husband's 

purse. 55. The queen of earthly queens! 56. 
What would you have reformed that is not well? 57. 
Here in this country, 58. men are ruled by women. 59. 

Mrs. B. Yes, truly, 60. in this country, 58. What * * * * 
from England? Scorn and defiance, slight re- 
gard, contempt. 61. 

That England that was wont to conquer others, hath 
made a shameful conquest of itself. 62. 

Is there no military policy how virgins might blow up 
men? 63. 



Mrs. A. They are mad women! 64. What should it be that 
they so shriek abroad? 65. Ladies and pale- 
visaged maids 
Like Amazons! Come tripping after drums, 
Their thimbles into armed gauntlets change 
Their nields to lances and their gentle hearts 
To fierce and bloody inclination. 66. 

Mrs. B. Wise men ne'er sit and wail their loss but cheerly 
seek how to redress their harms, 67. exhibit a bill 
in the parliament, 68. cry out liberty, freedom and 
enfranchisement. 69. 

Why should their liberty than ours be more? 70. 

A women impudent and mannish grown is not more 
loathed than an effeminate man in time of action. 71. 

Mrs. A. And to what end is this? 72. Go tell these head- 
strong women what duty they do owe their lords and 
husbands. 73. (Their) housekeeping hath won 
the greatest favor. 74. (They) would lift the 
moon out of her sphere, 75. to be called into a huge 
sphere and not to be seen to move in't. 76. 

Mrs. B. God forbid that I should wish them sever'd whom 
God hath joined together. 77. My husband! 78. 

He is the half part of a blessed man 

Left to be finished by such as she, 

And she a fair divided excellence 

Whose fullness of perfection lies in him. 79. 

It seems to me most strange that men should fear, 80. a 

mother, a guide, a goddess, a sovereign, a counsellor 
and a dear. 81. I am trusted with a muzzle and 
enfranchised with a clog. 82. 

We two must go together. 83. 

Mrs. A. Must we all march? 84. 



Mrs. B. Yes, two and two. 84. 

Join we together for the public good in what we can. 85. 
A gentle business and becoming the action of good 

women. 86. 
The nobleness of life is to do thus when such a mutual 

pair and such a twain can do't. 87. 

Mrs. A. Well said. That was laid on with a trowel. 88. 

Mrs. B. When a wise man gives thee better counsel, give me 
mine again. 89. 

Mrs. A. Your gown's a most rare fashion. 90. 

Mrs. B. For a fine, quaint, graceful and excellent fashion, yours 
is worth ten on't. 91. 
So quiet and so sweet a style, 92. though it appear a 
little out of fashion. 93. 
Mrs. A. What masking stuff is here? 94. 

Mrs. B. Taffeta, rich taffeta, 95. changeable taffeta! 96. 
Look how well my garments sit upon me! 97. 

Mrs. A. But seest thou not what a deformed thief this fashion 
is? 98. 
What's this? A sleeve? 99. 

Mrs. B. 'Tis just the fashion. 100. 

Mrs. A. 'Tis like a demi-cannon, 99. losing both beauty and 
utility. 101. 
Old fashions please me best. 102. 

Mrs. B. Art not thou thyself giddy with the fashions, too? 103. 

What's the matter km. with your hat? 105. 
Mrs. A. An old hat and the humour of forty fancies prick'd 

in't for a feather, 106. most courteous feathers which 

bow the head and nod at every man. 107. 

A monster, a very monster of apparel! 106. 
Mrs. B. What think you of 108. these girls, 109. their hats 

plucked about their ears and half their faces 

buried? no. 



Mrs. A. O vain, giddy, shallow youth! in. 

Their clothes are after such a pagan cut, too. 112. 
Mrs. B. They have a dance which (they) say is a gallimaufry 

of gambols. 113. 
Mrs. A. But all's brave that youth mounts and folly guides. 114. 

Mrs. B. New customs, tho' they be never so ridiculous, yet are 
followed. 115. 

Mrs. A. 'Tis far off 

And rather like a dream than an assurance 

That 116. 'tis the mind that makes the body rich. 117. 

Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy. 118. 

Mrs. B. Every man that means to live well endeavors to trust 
to himself and to live without conscience. 119. 

Mrs. A. I know a discontented gentleman whose humble means 
match not his haughty mind, whose large style 
<. agrees not with the leanness of his purse, 120. a purse 
of gold most resolutely snatched on Monday night 
and most dissolutely spent on Tuesday morning. 
121. Wasteful and ridiculous excess! 122. 

Mrs. B. For my means, I'll husband them well; they shall go 
far with little. 123. I may conquer Fortune's spite 
by living low. 124. Small cheer and a great wel- 
come makes a merry feast. 125. The fashion wears 
out more apparel than the man. 126. 

Mrs. A. My crown is called content; a crown it is that seldom 
kings enjoy. 127. 
Are you busy? 128. 

Mrs. B. Fie! What a question's that! 129. 

I am so full of business that I cannot answer thee 

acutely. 130. 
Mrs. A. What work's in hand? 131. 
Mrs. B. To shake all cares and business, 132. of these most 

brisk and giddy-paced times! 133. 



10 



Mrs. A. If all the year were playing holidays, 

To sport would be as tedious as to work. 134. 

Mrs. B. I were better to be eaten to death with rust than to 
be scoured to nothing with perpetual motion. 135. 
We'll converse and waste the time together. 136. 
Join you with me? 137. 
Mrs. A. Ay, with a twink. 138. 

What do you read? 139. Poetry and other books, 
good ones I warrant ye. 140. 
Mrs. B. I had rather than 40 shillings I had my book of Songs 
and Sonnets here. 141. 
Here is the book I sought for; is not the leaf turned 
down where I left reading? 142. 
"Mrs. A. Here it is, I think. 142. This is a very gallop of 
verses, 143, a deal of skimble-skamble stuff. 144. 
Why under the canopy 145. do you infect yourself 
with them? 146. 
Mrs. B. I love a ballad but even too well, if it be doleful matter 
merrily set down or a very pleasant thing indeed, 
and sung lamentably. 147. 

Mrs. A. How vilely doth this cynic, 148. spend his prodigal 
wits in bootless rhymes! 149. Very unlearned, 
neither savoring of poesy, wit nor invention. 150. 

Words, words, words. They have a plentiful lack of 
wit. 151. 

O, let me true in love, but truly write, 152. the 
elegancy, facility and golden cadence of poesy. 153. 

Not marble, nor the gilded monuments 

Of princess shall outlive this powerful rhyme. 154. 

Mrs. B. Good sentences and well-pronounced! 155. 
Mrs. A. Here comes one with a paper. 156. 

News, old news and such news as you never heard of, 
157. *bringing me word thither how the world 
goes. 158. 

11 



Mrs. B. Let me read the same, 159. the extract and brief chroni- 
cles of the time; after your death you were better 
have a bad epitaph than their evil report while you 
live. 160. 

Mrs. A. What news abroad in the world? 161. 
Is't good or bad? 162. 

Mrs. B. There's villainous news abroad. 163. 

Talk of murders, rapes and massacres, 
Acts of black night, abominable deeds, 
Complots of mischief, treason. 164. 
News, fitted to the night, 165. 'tis not good that children 
should know. 166. 

Mrs. A. There is some soul of goodness in things evil 
Would men observingly distil it out; 
Thus may we gather honey from the weed, 
And make a moral of the devil himself. 167. 

Mrs. B. List, list, O list! 168. The blast of war blows in our 
ears. 169. Leashed in like hounds, * * * Famine 
Sword and Fire crouch for employment. 170. The 
game's afoot, m. 

Mrs. A. The gates of mercy shall be all shut up; 

And the flesh'd soldier, rough and hard of heart 

In liberty of bloody hand shall range 

With conscience wide as hell. 

* * * Then (shall) impious war 

Arrayed in flames like to the Prince of Fiends, 

Do, with his smirch'd complexion, all fell feats 

Enlink'd to waste and desolation. 

Mrs. B. * * * Yet the cool and temperate wind of grace 
O'erblows the filthy and contagious clouds 
Of heady murder, spoil and villainy. 172. 

12 



Mrs. B. Hark further. 173. 

A good presence of worthies, 174. talk of peace, 175. 

resolved to effect 176. all unity on earth. 177. 
What rub, or what impediment is there, 
Why that ****** peace, 
Dear nurse of arts, of plenties and joyful births, 
Should not put up her lovely visage? 178. 

Mrs. A. O war, thou son of hell! 179. 

In bloody deaths and ravishments delighting; 
Nor children's tears, nor mothers' groans respect- 
ing. 180. 

.Mrs. B. Husoandry doth lie on heaps 
The vine, unpruned, dies. 
Even so our houses, and ourselves, and children, 
Have lost, or do not learn, for want of time 
The sciences that should become our country; 
But grow, like savages. 181. * 
Turning your books to graves, your ink to blood, your 

pens to lances. 182. 
Ay, 183. talk of peace! 184. pour the sweet milk of con- 
cord! 185. The time of universal peace is near. 186. 

Mrs. A. A peace is of the nature of a conquest; 

For then both parties nobly are subdued, 

And neither party loser. 187. 

So, — happy be the issue of this gracious meeting. 188. 

What think you of 189. this spirit of the time 190. 

(which says) 

"Whiles I am a beggar, I will rail, 

And say, there is no sin but to be rich." 191. 

Mrs. B. The fool multitude, 192. the still-discordant, wavering 
multitude! 193. Mechanic slaves, with greasy 
aprons, rules and hammers! 194. 

13 



Loiterers and malcontents! 195. 

They said they were an-hungry; sigh'd forth proverbs, 

That hunger broke stone walls, that dogs must eat, 

That meat was made for mouths, that the gods sent 
not 

Corn for the rich men only : — with these shreds 

They vented their complainings. 196. 

Their curses now, 

Live where their prayers did, and it's come to pass, 

That tractable obedience is a slave 

To each incensed will. 197. 
Mrs. A. O! I have suffer'd 

With those that I saw suffer. 

The cry did knock 

Against my very heart. Poor souls! 198. 

Are we not brothers? 
Mrs. B. Socman and man should be; 

But clay and clay differs in dignity 

Whose dust is both alike. 199. 
Mrs. A. But being rich, my virtue then shall be 

To say there is no vice but beggary. 200. 

In the fatness of these pursy times, 201. the great ones 
eat up the little ones. 202. 

They have engross'd and piled up 

The canker'd heaps of strange-achieved gold. 203. 

So distribution should undo excess and each man have 
enough. 204. 

In the corrupted currents of this world, 

Offence's gilded hand may shove by Justice. 205. 

How quickly Nature falls into revolt when gold be- 
comes her object! 206. 

Men must now with pity to dispense; 

For policy sits above conscience. 207. 
Mrs. B. I see this hath a little dashed your spirits. 208. 

Pray you, mark. 209. 

14 



I do remember 210. the time was 211. when, through 

his fixed teeth, 212. Caesar said,* "Do this," 
It was performed. 213. 

Mrs. A. What should be in that Caesar? 

Why should that name be sounded? 

Ye gods, it doth amaze me 
A man ***** should 
So get the start of the majestic world 
And bear the palm alone. 214. 

Mrs. B. Take him for all and all, I shall not look upon his like 
again. 215. A soldier, a man of travel, that hath 
seen the world. 216. Firm of word, 
Speaking in deeds, and deedless in his tongue; 
His heart and hand both open, and both free; 

For what he has, he gives; what thinks, he shows. 217. 

O, he sits high in all the people's hearts. 218. 

Mrs. A. His foes are so enrooted with his friends, 
That plucking to unfix an enemy, 
He doth unfasten so, and shake a friend. 219. 
His successor, 220. noble, wise, judicious. 221. (he) 
chose to cross in his intended drift, 222.* and 
rent their ancient love asunder to join with 
men in scorning (his) friend, 223. the kindest man, 
the best-conditioned and unwearied spirit, 224. (who) 
has done the state some service and they know it. 

226. 

Yet ne'ertheless, 225. a college of wit-crackers cannot 
flout (this king of smiles) 227. out of (his) hu- 
mour. 228. 

Mrs. B. This Caesar, 229. of the present hour, 230. a man of 
sovereign parts he is esteemed. 231. Our school- 
master! 232. How holily he works in all his busi- 
ness! And with what zeal! 233. His training 
such, 234. he mastered a double spirit of teaching 

15 



and of learning instantly. 235. Turn him to any 
cause of policy, the Gordian knot of it he will 
unloose, 236. upholding, 237. the majesty and power 
of law and justice. 238. 

Mrs. B. What lady is that? 239. 

Mrs. A. Have you not heard speak of Mariana? 

Mrs. B. I have heard of the lady. 240. Dost thou know her? 

241. 

Mrs. A. I do know 241 she's a most exquisite lady, 242. ot 
excellent discourse, pretty and witty. 243. 

Is she not passing fair? 244. 

Tis beauty truly blent, whose red and white 

Nature's own sweet and cunning hand laid on. 245. 
Mrs. A. He that can lay hold of her shall have the chinks. 246. 
Mrs. A. She never told her love. 247. 

Know you the man? 248. 

What's his name? 249. 
Mrs. B. I cannot tell what the dickens his name is. 250. 
Mrs. A. "Have the chinks,"— that's an ill phrase. 251. 

"What the dickens," — a vile phrase. 251. 

Mend your speech a little, 

Lest it may mar your fortunes. 252. 
Mrs. B. That's somewhat madly spoken. Pardon it. 253. 
Mrs. A. Good phrases are surely, and ever were, very com- 
mendable. 254. 
Mrs. B. Sure, I think so. 255. 
Mrs. A. Your sauciness will jest upon my love. 256. 
Mrs. B. A friend should bear his friend's infirmities. 257. 
Mrs. A. What good sport is out of town to-day? 258. 
Mrs. B. Football. 259. 'Tis sport to maul a runner. 260. 
Mrs. A. Sport indeed! 261. To dislocate bones! 262. 
Mrs. B. There be some sports are painful, and their labour 
delight in them sets off. 263. Believe me, 264. I 
saw not better sport. 265.

It is the first time that ever I heard that breaking of 
ribs was sport for ladies. 266. The idle pleasures of 
these days! 267. 

Mercy o' me, what a multitude stirs abroad! 268. 

What's to do? 269. 

Here is a wonder if you talk of a wonder! 270. 

A league without the town, 271. some airy devil hovers 
in the sky. 272. He has gone aboard a new ship, 
273. a wonderful piece or work, 274. into this sea of 
air. 275. 

They say miracles are passed. 276. 
What a piece of work is man! 277. 
He bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds and sails upon the 

bosom of the air. 278. 
This man, through whom the gods have shown their 

power! 279. 
Whate'er the ocean pales or sky inclips is thine! 280. 
It grows very late. I must be gone. 281. My tongue 

is weary. 282. 
Your fair discourse has been as sugar. 283. 
An infinite deal of nothing. 284. Enough with over 

measure. 285. 
Come again to-morrow. 286. 
Ere long I'll visit you again. 287. 
By and by is easily said. 288. Things are often spoke 

and seldom meant. 289. 
My heart accordeth with my tongue. 290. 
Let our old acquaintance be renewed. 291. The need 

I have of thee thine own goodness hath made. 292. 
What need we have any friends? They were the most 

needless creatures living, if we should never have 

use for them. They would most resemble sweet 

instruments hung up in cases that keep their sounds 

to themselves. We are born to do benefits. 293.

Mrs. B. A word ere you go. 294. I beseech you, 295. let me 
hear from you, 296. in the way of friendly com- 
munication. 297. You shall not say me nay. 298. 

Mrs. A. I will be correspondent to command. 299. Fare- 
well. 300. 

Mrs. B. Goodnight. 301.
